Which goes to prove that even in those superstitious times, Abraham Lincoln's words, "...you cannot fool all of the people all of the time", were true.

Fables, Farces and Facts
by Farkel inno, this piece is not about alliteration.
for true believers?
the subject matter is quite serious, and may just possibly affect the quality of the rest of you lives; it may also affect your eternal fate, if there is such a thing.

You people need faith, and an extensive understanding of the bible in order to understand god and its will.
You must remember that this was in the old testament. Things were different then. Christ changed everything. Before Jesus, the Earth had foundations, and a firmament (a firm surface) on which the two sources of light (the sun and the moon) and the stars slid through every day. This was the reason Yah was able to stop the sun only and held the moon and the stars in their place or they would?ve collided with each other. When Jesus created the new testament, god took the Earth away from its foundations, let it spin on itself and around the sun. He also moved the stars away, so that it would only appear that some of them emitted their light 14.5 billion years away, and were created at least 14.5 billion years ago. Don?t let this fool you. This is an illusion created by Satan. We know that god only created the universe only about 7,000 years ago. God would not be able to stop everything all of a sudden at around 1,000 miles per hour. Just think what would happen to you if you were sitting on a SST traveling at 1,000 mph and crashed all of a sudden against a mountain at that speed. Does the word pancake come to mind? God would have had to stop not only the Earth but also everything on it. Imagine all that energy needed! I would?ve actually been quicker to transform the entire Israeli army into Sampsons for a day or send his angels/demons to finish them all. Hey, if only took one angel to kill hundreds of thousands of enemies in one night, why not repeat the feat? Maybe even change their hearts like the folks in Nineveh! Thank Jesus he changed the whole universe again to give us new laws.

Questions about Jehovah's Witnesses that I need answers to
by the real truth ini'm not trying to offend anyone by asking questions, but i really want answers to my questions from jehovah's witnesses.
ok, i've been having a problem with john 1:1. how many gods are there?
the most famous distortion in the nwt is john 1:1. the nwt inserts the word "a" in front of the second god in this verse.

Check your NWI (I don’t call it NWT, because it is not a true translation, but an *interpretation* changed and suited to their doctrines) in their notes for Exodus 1:1. It will explain to you that the true meaning of “god” should be “gods” (plural). The Jews were polytheists until the 6 th century BCE when they came under the Zoroastrian influence and their “law” was rewritten and “found”. They claim that this is a “majestatic” plural, but in fact, this plural only came to be used around 50 BCE in by Julius Cesar.
We all know there is one God , right?
Nope, I do not know if there is a god, or many gods. In my opinion if there is a god, She does not care about humans.
There is no doubt about that. Answer me this though, according to your doctrine, is Jesus a false God or a true God, because your corrupted translation clearly says he was "a god"
You missed “the only god”. By your definition, you seem to be polytheistic. Your question should’ve read: is Jesus the true God, a false God or a true God,

He created the earth to be lived in for perfect humans.
So he created Earth 4,500,000 years ago, and then the stars which are at least 14,500,000 years old?
If humans were so perfect, how come he was looking for a mate from among the animals for Adam? Were they also perfect?
That was his purpose ; ask any JW that !
No thanks, I'd rather ask anyone at an insane asylum. They probably can give me a better answer. They may be insane, but not all of them are stupid.
However Adam sinned, which meant God had to change by sending his 'son' down to earth to erradicate sin.
So god, knowing his son would be murdered, still sends him to be murdered because he loves us as his sons? That is a terrible thought: to be sent to be murdered because someone loves someone else. Apparently god's scheme did not work because according to the bible we all sin.
If Adam would have never sinned, God would not have sent Jesus to earth. He had to change !
If, if, if, if, etc. God is supposed to know the future. If he knew that Adam would sin, then why create him in the first place?
This sacrifice is no big deal to begin with. Among the Aztecs, some of the warriors would volunteer to be sacrificed to Huitzilopochtli, so that the sun would continue to shine.
Jehovah was the exclusive *minor* deity of the Hebrews. Not for the whole world. He never gave a sh*t about the other nations. He was happy smelling the smoke from dead carcasses that produce an aroma conductive to rest.

Child Psychologyst Needed in Chicago Area

Thank you coffee_black.
I am really going crazy with this cult. My daughter is now rejecting the scientific method, in which she used to believe before. I did not want to have full custody of my daughters, as I deemed it counterproductive, but now I see that I will have an uphill battle all my life. She wants to have a normal life but it is impossible now. She wants to be accepted by all, but does not realize the consequences of getting baptized.

My daughter (12 years Old) has expressed her need for a psychologyst. She told me she wants to see one that would keep her secrets only without revealing them to her mother or myself. She felt betrayed with her old psychologyst. She feels conflicted on what to do. Her mother keeps on pressuring her into joining the cult, and wants me, her ex, to join the cult so that there could be peace in the family. I have explained to her that if she joins the JW or another cult that destroys families, it would mean that I would not see her anymore. I explained to her that it would be the end of our relationship the minute she is baptized since they forbide contact with DAd people.
I would like to know if you know of any child psychologyst in the Chicago area that knows about cults so that s/he more than likely would be aware of of the consequences of joining the JWs.
Thank you.
By the way. I am an atheist, but I would not mind her seeing a Psychologyst that is not into cults or is a fundamentalist. I would just like one that is open-minded.

So in conclusion, it is interesting to note that the default sex is female.
Yes, I agree that the mess we are in is because of the females. Ever since Eve everything has been deirfault.

Any takers?
by Jessica Rabbit ini have been doing some research on freemasonry and the pyramids lately.
does anyone know if the purple triangles on the shirts of the jw holocaust victims had anything to do with the pyramids; and who decided to put that particular patch on that group of people?
i know that the "star of david" is another symbol used in freemasonry as well as the "watchtower" symbol.

From what I stand, the Watchtower logo looks like one more phalic symbol to me.
